I agree with buckfever. If I were you, I would look into making homemade scent spray. There have been lots of posts on here lately about that stuff. Most of it, you may have in your home already. That could save you some money right there.
I do where camo, but I don't buy the expensive stuff. I use Real-Tree camo and it's not the scent shield or carbon lined stuff, just the cheap stuff. I do, however, wash my clothes in scent away detergent. I think that is very important because the wind can be tricky at times, and if your clothes are scent free, that will help.
Also, remember to wash your towels (that you dry off with after your showers) in this same stuff. That way your body is dried off w/scent free towel!
Your best bet hunting public land would be to find a good spot that you can see a ways. If you are hunting w/a buddy who is going to be next to you, you two need to sit back to back. That way you have 360 degree view of everything. If I were hunting public land, I'd pick the best location and then sit. PERIOD, no moving. The other hunters moving into their stands (and getting out at lunch time) will move deer. STAY in that spot as long as possible. YOu may have a jumped deer come into your location around 11am or noonish, when Jim-Bob is going home to eat!
